"They know how to pronounce my name!" -- rockstar reception tonight for Kamala Harris on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
"What upsets me so is the idea that any politician would play political games with these folks" -- Kamala Harris to Stephen Colbert on Helene aftermath
"There's a lot of catching up to do. My opponent, the former president, has been running since 2020" -- Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris on what she was thinking during the debate: "It's family TV, right? It starts with a W, here's a letter in between, and then the last letter is F."
Harris: "Somebody asked me recently what's the last big decision I made that was a gut decision ... ultimately I chose and asked Tim Walz, because my gut told me that he will be what I think we want in our country ... he's the kind of people I grew up with."
Harris on Trump to Colbert: "He has said he wants to be a dictator on day one if he were elected again. He gets played by these guys ... Trump secretly sent covid test kids to Putin for his personal use. I ask everyone who is watching: Do you remember what those days were like?"
COLBERT: "Would you like to have a beer with me?"
HARRIS: "Cheers. The champagne of beers."
Colbert's last question to Harris: I want to ask you a question that Speaker Johnson recently called a gotcha, and it's a question that a lot of Republican are avoiding: Did Trump lose the election?
